Maize front-end tighter at 155.00 EUR / t

Maize front-end prices tightened to 155.00 EUR/t as China bought more US corn. Cloudy crop prospects were also reported for Brazil's corn crop.

WHY IT MATTERS

Chinese purchases of US corn tighten nearby export supply, supporting US corn prices. Doubts over Brazil's crop add support as an alternative supplier becomes less certain.
